Enthusiasm - Home Page

Enthusiasm is a software framework to be implemented in support to the creation and production of drama-based information presentations. The framework consists of off-line editors and real-time applications.

Currently the development is focused on Tarta4D, the real-time 3D graphics visualization sub-module of the whole Enthusiasm architecture.

The Enthusiasm framework is the grounding base of the MESH software (Mise-en-scène Helper) [http://www.mesh-project.org]. Please, refer to the the MESH site for updated news and features.
